Want to support me?
Maybe you know projects, people, communities or initiatives which you think I might be interested to stop? let me know! – I am happy for all suggestons – thats how I find the best places ; )barbara_graf@gmx.at

Want to join me?
Anytime! I would be really happy about company. So if anyone wants to join me for a short or long period of time, feel welcome to do so. I would be good though if you would agree with the basic principles of this journey and be ok with low standards of comfort. I guess after a while we will see if we fit as travel companions and if we want to keep on travelling together!

see how desperate I am ; ) – this is a text I posted on couchsurfng:

Hi wonderful bicycle-friends!I am travelling the world on my bicycle and by sailboat across the oceans – since over a year.Its been great to be on my own – lots of great experiences – getting to know myself – borders – fears..BUT NOW – I am ready for some company! Looking forward to form a WOMAN BIKEGANG* ; ) I am planning on trevelling down the pacific coast from Vancouver BC north to the San Francisco Bay Area – and maybe to LA.YES I know its winter – but If you are a worldtraveller who chooses not to take crazy oilconsuming airplanes – you cant always be in the sun ; ) – so lets have fun in the rain! meet collectives, communities, organic farms, camp in the wild or find shelter in squats or with wonderful couchsurfing and warm-shower people ; )

I am mostly freegan (also known as dumpsterqueen ; ), basic bikemechanic and love to travel with no/very little money ; )looking forward to share some adventures with some awesome women!

*jep – queers and progressive/conscious men are welcome too.

Daisy O’Hara performing “Home Is Where Your Heart Is”, a tribute to Bärbel Cycloqueen, who is brave enough to follow her heart. With this song they also want to let her know, that wherever she goes, her home will also be here in the hearts of her friends.

Hi Babsey! Remeber me? Beth from Anacortes WA. USA. I am so overwhelmed at how far you have gone. Way to go my dear. Just want you to know that we think of you often and tell all our warmshowers guests about you. Several have asked for your blog address and I have given it to them. You have fans you haven’t even met! Hope we hear from you again. Love and Hugs, Beth (and J.B.)

dear beth! of course i remember you, the comfy evenings in your house when it was icecold outside and the luxurious little house you made me feel so comfortable in ; ) thanks for helping my popularity : ) haha – its quite funny now i am in iran and i feel like a superstar only because i am a foreigner. today i played the guitar on a park- bench. some teenagers heard me and invited me to their english class..and then i spent about an hour in the class talking about my trip. later they took fotos and wanted me to sign their books. and the teacher invited me to come to his house.
